Rail Trails in Pennsylvania
|
All of these trails are now part of The Great Allegheny Passage. On their website you will find maps and much other information. I will continue to list the portions of the Passage we have ridden. Allegheny Highlands Trail — South West Pennsylvania Stony Valley Railroad Grade — Eastern Pennsylvania Youghiogheny River Trail, South Section — Connellsville to Confluence Youghiogheny River Trail, North Section — McKeesport to Connellsville Pennsylvania has 113 rail trails for a total of 923 miles. And not only that, they have 95 active trail projects with a potential of adding 1,067 more miles. Fantastic! Many of the trails are very short, not trails that you would travel long distances to ride; however, they have some outstanding trails that are well worth planning a trip just to enjoy bicycle riding. Check out Trails-to-Trails's TrailLink.com for the state of Pennsylvania for a list of the major trails. You will find good information there including, on some trails but not all, a link to the official trail website which often includes maps. Better yet, checkout Pennsylvania's own website for detailed information and maps. |
